## Abstract Dopaminergic damage inducing Parkinson's disease (PD) is ubiquitous neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by the progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal pathways. The etiology and pathogenic factors implicated in dopaminergic damage are still unexplored to deve

Central to the neural mechanism of MPTP-induced parkinsonism is overactivity of the subthalamic nucleus. Lesion of the subthalamic nucleus has therefore been performed in two primates with this condition and found to produce a remarkable amelioration of the disorder.
The D2 dopamine agonist piribedil is not widely used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease because it was thought to be effective mainly on parkinsonian tremor and to produce a high incidence of peripheral side effects, particular nausea. In this study, we used 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydro
Nerve growth factor (NGF) mediates a variety of nerve cell actions through receptor tyrosine kinase TrkA. It has been revealed that the Akt pathway contributes to the prevention of apoptosis. It is thought that Parkinson's disease involves apoptosis, and NGF prevents apoptosis in an in vivo model sy
